London Paralympic champ Vervoort considers euthanasia after Rio 2016

Belgian Paralympic athlete Marieke Vervoort, who won gold and silver in London, says she is considering euthanasia after the Rio Olympics as the pain she suffers is hard to endure and it’s difficult for her to train at full strength.

"I will stop my career after [the] Rio [Paralympics]. After, we shall see what life brings for me…" the 37-year-old wheelchair sprinter told RTL radio. "I started thinking about euthanasia."
